[quote=flyer]Some friends inquired for their kids, and found the developments will, most likely, not be in their desired school districts, so they bought in CV. Don’t know if that will become an issue for potential buyers in those MM developments, but for those who want specific school districts for their kids, as many do, it might.[/quote]

this is bullshit. I seriously doubt you sent your own kids to public school. My money says that like many other who bought in an area like Carmel Valley, you bought thinking you are getting the “best” elementary schools…For example….. Ocean Air and Sage Canyon, but 2-3 years after sending your kid there, you decided to put your kids into a private school anyway.

If your kids were really gifted, you would have found the instructions at even the CV public schools lacking like many parent found and eventually sent their kids to a private school.

Or maybe you skipped the CV public schools completely and did what many people did, and send them to LJ Country Day or Bishop school anyway, which makes the argument about the public school district lacking a non-argument. The only thing worth considering is ensuring the neighborhood is a safe neighbor, which I’m sure 3Roots will be fine. Concidentally, some of the biggest drug offenses happen to been in the more affluent areas where helicopter parents with money leave a lot of money to directionless spoiled brats who have nothing better to do than to vape and sniff. Wasn’t that lady who got caught selling drug some mom from that private high school in Carmel Valley, Cathedral High???….

The teaching staff at DMUSD or San Dieguito is no better or worse than say Poway or up in Carlsbad. What makes a difference in the kid’s education was parental involvement, whether it was hands on in the case of me or parents shelling out money for all the after school enrichment if either the parents were incapable of teaching their own kids (in subjects like STEM which many american parents limited education stops around 7th grade understanding. A lot of room moms I worked with as a room dad literally couldn’t help their kids in math beyond 6th-7th grade. It was pathetic. So they have to pay money to get substandard tutor help, lol….and by the time they get into middle school, usually the kids get wrapped up into being popular that their education falls off a cliff anyway….more money wasted, lol)

Also, from a distance perspective, sending your kids to Bishop School or LJ Country day, it’s a lot closer to do it if you are in 3Roots than CarmelValley. unless of course you are helicopter parent that is too lazy to drop your own kid off at school and have to pay someone to drop your brats off in a bentley at school

Actually, flyer, not sure why you would prefer Carmel Valley over 3 Roots. You can be the biggest fish in the small pond versus being a small fish in the big Carmel Valley pond.

Imagine in 3 roots, being the only guy on the area that complains about how your bentley can’t fit into the substandard garage and applying for a architecture change request with the HOA board to extend your garage just so you can fit your bentley in it… Now, that screams, I’ve got money, you don’t all the rest of you 3 Roots plebians!!!

The most important thing for health is to be better than those around you. More stressful to be the small fish.

In america, what’s great about this country is…no one really needs to give a shit how much wealthier anyone else it. It’s not like it’s a zero sum game that someone wealthier means you have a shittier life. It’s like that in fcked up 3rd world countries and even parts of asia where literally if you aren’t in the in crowd, you are totally fucked. But here, in umerica’… doesn’t matter in the long run.

Everything they teach you about how it’s not just how much you make but what you do with it, is so true. You can be a janitor would smart financial decisions and do pretty well. You could be someone making $300k/year and blowing every dollar and be piss poor… Anyone that looks down on someone because of the work they do… fuck them. kick them in the groin…. That’s what makes this country great. Just look at Evelyn Lin….

As I recall MM had really high test scores even when it was a more downscale area.

The largest 3roots plan is 3,643 SF 5/4.5. So its high end overlaps with CV’s midrange, and is ~20 years newer.

On the other hand, the boxy modern look of the larger 3roots homes is inferior to the more traditional Spanish/French med look of your typical CV place.

The 3R plan that I like the best are the three floor SFH Citrine. Its modern boxy look just works better when it is taller.

If you’ve ever been to newer suburban areas of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Paris, a lot of them have this look, though not as heavy with the stone trim.

I personally like the Mediterranean/Spanish look more than the modern look. But the younger crowd do like the modern look more. So, I’m sure the builders have done their research based on their target audience and what they like. That might be one of the reasons why the level of interest is through the roof.

Thats up to subjective interpretation

My post was about our friends kids recently buying in CV vs MM, based upon their preferences. Good or bad, that was their choice. Others make other choices, which is probably great for them. We lived in CV many years ago, and still have rentals there, but haven’t lived there for quite awhile.

This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone who cross shop CV w/ MM when school district is remotely on their radar.

[flyer]

Exactly. I wondered about that, too, but that was what our friends told us. Guess they’re happy with their choice, so it all worked out. As was mentioned, thankfully, we’re all free to make our own choices in this Country.

[scaredyclassic]

I think you mean free to spend money as you elect, not like actually free to choose.

Why can’t I choose to get psychedelic mushrooms at Costco?

[flyer]

Right. Probably more accurate to say, of the choices available to each of us, we’re free to spend money on them as we choose. Still a great option, imo.

Actually that Tuscan /spanish/mediterranean look has been on its way out for more than five years. They don’t build much of that anywhere anymore. Houses with that interior have been viewed as fixer uppers for several years up here

dude, you are recycling what you say over and over again on just about every post about what you inherited and nobody cares. If you’re trying to fish for complements on an internet blog to somehow make yourself feel better among people wealthier than you, its probably not working because no one either believes you or gives a shit. Everyone is a billionaire on the internet. Now excuse me. i need to figure out how to extend my garage so i can fit my cessna that my uncle just bought for me in there. Apparently the HOA doesnt like me just leaving it on the driveway…I mean, i prefer to leave it on tje driveway because it boosts my ego in my otherwise low self esteem among my billionaire friends, just so i can thumb my nose at all the plebians CarmelV folks that dont have a cessna…..

I don’t know if it’s on its way out for all target audience. I was looking at Toll Brother’s in Robertson Ranch in Carlsbad as well as their development in Pacific Highland Ranch and they’re both Tuscan /Spanish/Mediterranean style. All the while, houses across the way from TriPoint Homes (formerly Pardee) were all modern. So, I wonder if the cheaper builders are going modern because their target clientele are younger?

I personally don’t like the modern exterior look but I like the more transitional (somewhat modern) interior with open concept. I think Toll Brothers homes strike a good balance for me.
